Post Torque specs
Hey guys, I'm installing my new front struts. I was wondering, are the top four nuts that secure the strut to the strut tower supposed to be 57 ft-lbs? How about the bottom 2 bolts (74ft-lbs each?) My struts are already assembled and all I need to do is swap them. Are there any more torque specs I need to know? Thanks.

Look in the front index of the Haynes manual. Torque all the ones listed. Any other bolt that does not have a value listed, go by the torque values listed in the front for the type of bolt it is (M8.5, M10, etc.) Otherwise.... make it good and tight.

Tight is good then.

IMHO... spend the $19.95 on a manual. It is worth it just for the spec sheets and diagrams.
